We regrettably have been here more times that myself and my wallet wanted lol but to get the care, love and attention to my best friend received is just beyond words. we are new to the vet all about a month and change but have been repeat visitors do to dukes shenanigan. The staff is amazing between the doctors, the knowledge , the love and the amazing follow up as well as check in to see how he is doing has been heartwarming to me.

I live in tampa but believe me, i will cross 275 just to have duke get the best care. To the staff duke and i appreciate you more than you know!! read more

See all

I had an appointment for a ultrasound for my cat. I am not going to explain what happened, but they explained to me what they can do and cannot do which I found out when I was there, and I was pretty upset because I wasted my time to move forward, but they were so nice, compassionate and easy to deal they actually credited back my appointment fee so I can take my cat to the correct place to have further diagnosis done all at once and not cost me more money or time paying another fee for an exam to further diagnose my cat. From this great experience, I believe I found a new vet and will continue to make appointments with Pinellas Animal Hospital for them. Thank you, Pinellas Animal Hospital. My experience there was extremely refreshing in today's world! read more

In July 2025 i took my dog in to be checked for a possible ear infection. Mandy, our usual vet (the greatest in the world) was not available, and we got some idiot who suggested that my dog did not need her spleen, and they could remove it. I then restated that we were there for a possible ear infection eval. The idiot vet then said she had no ear infection, and they could do a brain x-ray to see if there were any brain tumors. I then said that meant giving her anesthesia and she was an older dog. The vet stunningly said to me, why? I then reminded her that the dog was not going to stay still while you x-ray'd her brain. The vet said, oh yea. I then caved into the "hard sell" techniques and let them do blood work, which came back perfect. I then left with an expensive bottle of ear wash and an over $450 bill. Maybe when that vet has her baby, she can remove her spleen and do a brain x-ray... like she wanted to do to my "baby". Not a fan of the "over the top hard sell upgrade strategy" from the office management. (not the first time)! read more

In the 9 years of vet visits for my dog I have never seen a vet tech straddle and hold my dog down while the vet took vitals. Normally they let him be timid and work with him. They insisted he had fleas but couldn't locate one, and recommended treatment for fleas repeatedly. read more

We have had great experience with boarding our dog. He seemed very happy! We were able to pick up on sunday.

From the first time to the last time Schubert and I came in the staff have been wonderful. Today it was time for me to say goodbye to my best friend and they were all so compassionate and caring. I was a blubbering mass but Schubert felt relaxed and slipped away peacefully knowing he was amongst friends. I can't thank these people enough for their care. read more

Boarded our dog at the hospital for 6 days as we needed to go out of state for business. He went in happy, healthy, and full of vigorous energy. When we picked him up, he seemed confused, lethargic, and whimpering. His breathing was labored and he wouldn't eat anything (not even his favorite snacks). We called the hospital to voice our concern about our dog. We were told it was simply temporary stress related to his being boarded, but it would resolve itself in no time. Unfortunately, his symptoms have gotten worse, so we're taking him to our usual vet first thing in the mornin. The Pinellas Animal Hospital said we could bring him in again and they would examine him for a fee. We're going to pass. read more

Pinellas Animal Hospital - Our poor dog hasn't moved more than three times since we brought him home. Won't eat and his balance is off significantly. - Veterinarians Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

The people here are great but more importantly they take amazing care of my dog Sadie Jane! She is a more mature dog and has some age related health issues. I went in for a quick wellness exam and 2 hours later armed with more knowledge and a treatment plan we both left happy. The doctor and technician took their time examining Sadie Jane and educating me on some newly presented issues. I never once felt rushed or an inconvenience even though I could hear how busy they were. Being new to the area I needed some new prescription for her and they were fast in approving them and even made sure I had a few days extra while they shipped from their on line store. The phones are always answered promptly and courteously. There is always a follow up call or text to make sure procedures and meds are being tolerated well. I am thrilled with how gentle and kind they were to both my dog and I! read more

RUN AWAY, Charged me $79. Up front to make an appointment. My wife and ran into traffic jam. I called to let them know I would be ten to fifteen minutes late and was told I forfeited the money. Would not allow to reschedule without paying them again. Not happening. Not much of a Vet. If you feel the need to steal money from your customers. read more

The doctors and staff at Pinellas Animal Hospital have always been kind and attentive to us and our animals. Our fourteen-year-old dog, Stella, just passed, and PAH sent us some beautiful flowers in sympathy. It was such a sweet gesture that we cried. Thank you, all the doctors and staff. We love you for the way you cared for Stella and are still caring about Stella. read more

When my cat 'Chase' started to show signs of illness, I looked around my area for vets. I came across a few and after reading some reviews, I decided on 'Pinellas Animal Hospital'. Never having a need for a vet while we are down in Florida from Canada, I was a tad nervous when entering the hospital. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it looked, clean & well laid out. I was quickly taken into a room where I explained all about my cat. The staff were very nice, friendly, efficient & compassionate with regard to me as well as 'Chase'. Unfortunately, 'Chase' was seriously ill so after I took him home for one last night, next day he returned to be looked after & cared for. I would definitely recommend Pinellas Pet Hospital, if my other cat ever has any issues, I will go to them again. read more

I just moved to St Pete from Oregon three weeks ago and haven't yet set up a vet for my pup Trak'r. I called at noon on a Saturday (12/12/20) and explained he has an ear infection, is in pain and hasn't eaten for 24 hours. They said they'd love to have him as a new Patient but their next opening was Monday morning. I told them he needs meds cause he's in pain. She said we're sorry but that all we can do. Why don't you take him to a hospital, because we are totally booked this weekend? My pets in pain and they can't squeeze him in for a quick ear infection look and meds? What's with the Vets around here? Isn't anyone committed to their work anymore. I felt like I was talking to the DMV -- public sector mentality. read more

I have trusted Krugr, my geriatric cat, to the kind attention of veterinarians and staff at this well managed facility for 3 1/2 yrs. I believe he is living a longer more comfortable life thanks to services rendered here. Regular semi-annual exams, blood work, and dental care have been performed with loving care at reasonable rates. Staff is never too hurried to indulge my questions and concerns. The facility itself is immaculate and well designed for the comfort of visitors and staff alike. Krugr seems to have fared well while boarded during my travels. Small favors and incidentals make returning here pleasurable as well. My experience makes easy to recommend entrusting your animal companions to this long established veterinary hospital. read more

I've taken two dogs here and never had a bad experience. The vets are honest and take the time to answer questions, thoroughly examine your pet, and recommend next steps. They give a discount for first exam if you adopt your pet which I think is great. The vet techs are also very friendly and willing to interact with the animals. Overall, great veterinary location. I anticipate taking my dog here for a long time. read more

We have been taking our 3 dogs here for a few years now. My oldest has diabetes and a bunch of other health issues. Every doc I've seen here has been wonderful. They take such good care of my babies, especially the oldest one that needs a lot of help. They always call to check on them after appointments and they take the time to explain things to us so we understand what's going on. I find their costs to be fair, their appointment times flexible and their staff outstanding! I am very happy to have found such a great vet for my babies. read more

Dealing with them is a joke. Your experience depends on which "girl" you get on the phone. Can't just walk in and buy a flea product I was told to stop in yesterday for. They want to talk in circles asking for an account number or if you have a pet there. I will take business elsewhere read more

Let me start by saying the people including Dr.Kraven are very very nice. What's disappointing is I paid $362.00 only to get 1/2 or less of a possible diagnosis...AND to be told to go to Tampa emergency. There was no treatment given... just blood and urine tests to say my dog had ketoasidosis and maybe something worse. Now at Tampa hospital close to $3,000 is the estimate....I am so sad and vulnerable....that's how they get you. I think for the tests done here it was way too costly....sure the place is pretty and nice but my dog's life is so much more important...I just pray they can help him. I post this cause I want to warn visitors to FLA to always go to emergency if you think something is wrong, don't bother with a local vet especially if $$ does matter.. read more

I went in yesterday to renew my dog tags, the recent shots on the paper work from the shot vet was provided and task completed. I made an appointment for my dog for anal glands and was told they could do this, but don't do grooming. I was given an appt today and called today to ask what the time was again and ask if I could leave and come back. I was told "No your dog doesn't have it's flu shot." I said I just got his tags renewed yesterday and how do you know you didn't ask me. I could have it in my paperwork at home. Her answer was "You didn't ask if you could leave him." Maybe the whole customer supportive idea is lost with them here, I didn't know I had to ask specific questions like; does my dog need a flu shot to be seen, "no" but if you leave him yes! Well ok then, how do I know this? Anyway, I was called back and told my appt to have my dog's anal glands done was canceled no reason, and of course. So who is to blame here? The customer because one assumed they could leave the dog, yet I called in to ask and was scolded on the phone for not having a flu shot and assuming I could leave my dog. Hmmmm could it be someone was frustrated with me being rude back on the phone. If you dish it out then expect to get it back. You started the conversation by commenting back at me, " well you didn't tell us you were leaving him". Instead of saying "I'm sorry no one informed you; YOU NEED TO HAVE A FLU SHOT IN ORDER TO LEAVE YOUR DOG HERE! It's that simple, but no I am told I can't bring my dog in for this or any service it seems like? I am happy to give my business to Paws In Paradise just down the road from me where they don't require all the paperwork and hassel for one flu shot! I guess reviews work against someone when they cancel an appt and say "We really don't want you". Well I really don't care and will give my money where it is deserved. I just hope I don't have an emergency and then you turn me away again! read more

Great staff! Trust them! Reasonable priced for this area. I would recommend them. And if your pet needs a specialized dr, they can give you direction. read more

I have been taking my pets there since 1994. The Doctors are caring, helpful and spend time with the pets and owners. I think I have had appointments with each Dr and I like each of them. The staff has been very accommodating. Prices are comparable with others in the area that offer this level of care Would definitely recommend read more

Phenomenal. We have been taking our dog to a different local vet that was high volume and low quality and the difference between there and Pinellas Animal Hospital is shocking. We will never visit anywhere else. This is definitely our vet now. On our first visit, I called Pinellas Animal Hospital because my dog was having problems breathing AGAIN and we were sick of the other vet charging us money to do nothing. They asked if we could be there within 25 minutes. We headed out the door and arrived shortly after I hung up the phone. They saw us right away and placed my pup on oxygen. The vet came in a little while later (we see Dr. Elmer) and explained to us what was going on and what needed to be done. We learned more in this short visit with him than we had in the previous 4-5 visits to the other vet. After spending the day on oxygen, we picked our pup up. Upon returning to pick him up, we met with Dr. Elmer again to discuss his treatment. Very personable and phenomenal service. We have since returned for a check-up visit in which we were in and out in less than a half an hour. More importantly, they were prepared for us, knew what was going on with our dog and actually cared about how he was doing. So, so much better than his old vet. We are loving Pinellas Animal Hospital and we would highly recommend them. We won't be visiting anywhere else in the future unless we have to. read more

I just took my dog there for his vaccinations and tests prior to boarding him there. From the minute I walked in the door, they were so wonderful and patient. He's not very friendly, and I called ahead to ask if there was a separate wiating room that we could use. Not only did they remember when I showed up, but they let me know even before I walked in the door that it was okay to bring him in through the waiting room and into his "holding cell". They showered him with affection and were completely professional at every step. I left feeling pretty relieved that I'd found such a caring place, but it gets even better! After the vaccinations, I'd asked about reactions and they assured me that he'd be fine. Despite my dog's huge size, he's surprisingly sensitive to medication and I just wanted to make sure to look for any warning signals. That afternoon and the next day, he had "play dates" with two other dogs, and he played non-stop - for nearly the entire day. On Monday, he was tired and feverish and could barely move. This isn't unusual when he overexerts himself, but it seemed a bit extreme. I thought about calling the vet, and just then - the phone rang. It was Pinellas Animal Hospital calling to make sure that he'd not had a reaction to the shots. I explained what was going on with him and said that I'm sure it was just from playing so hard, and they agreed. We talked for a few minutes about it, then I hung up. Many vets make follow-up calls, and I didn't really think anything of it other than to think that it was a nice touch. By that evening, the dog's fever was gone and he was eating again. The NEXT morning, I received another call from PAH, checking up on him to make sure he was okay. Now I was really impressed. I know that it's simply a matter of entering a note into the computer to call and check, but the fact that they took the time to do that showed that they have the systems in place to follow up on unusual behavior or potential problems AND that the person making the follow-up calls noticed that there might be an issue. I'm very happy that I found them! read more

I can't say enough great things about the doctors and the team at Pinellas Animal Hospital. Everyone from the front desk to the technicians and the doctors were kind, helpful, knowledgeable and treated my dog as if he were their own. My dog had an unexpected surgery and they were so good with him. They kept me updated and informed throughout the process. Thank you to the entire team. read more

Great animal hospital! Our oldest has always been afraid of the vet. She gets the shakes and pants. Even here, but the team of nurses and doctors are all so friendly and know just how to keep her calm. They've taken care of our two babies since we moved to the area and it's so conveniently close to home. read more

I have taken my animals to six different vets in two different states and Pinellas Animal Hospital is the absolute best, bar none. You know from the moment you walk in everyone on staff is an animal lover. Their online pet portal, an electronic medical record for your pet, is vital in knowing what services are upcoming for your animals. read more

Money hungry business... go here and see for yourself... I use to bring my animals here but the change of staff and the way they handle business now is a complete joke... expect to be gouged for any visit here... read more

I have taking my fur babies to these guys for several years and was always welcomed with a smiling face whoever took care of me ...and never experienced any issues whatsoever. Well it was time to have my one chihauhau to have his teeth removed/cleaned ...whatever was necessary. I had put it off for so long because of the worry of putting him under anesthesia!! The horror stories you hear of but not the positives.. . Poor little guy had to have all of his remaining teeth removed and hands down best decision ever ! Dr Wallen talked me through what to expect and i had him home the following day a bit groggy but within 24 hours he was like a puppy again and no problem eating at all, .before he would miss the occasional meal and also treats because of the pain it caused . Now hes jumping up at me to get to the food again! .Its now been 4 weeks and checkup was great , hes doing great and i cannot express enough how i wish i had saved him the pain and done it much sooner .Its about trusting your dogs with someone who is qualified and cares and this is the place xxxxx read more

I have had dogs for over thirty years. I would never take them anywhere else. The staff is so kind, warm and devoted to all animals and the groomer, Janelle, is the same as the office staff. The care Mackenzie receives from the 3 doctors has been wonderful. Kenzie is 18 now and is healthy as any other dog half her age. I know that taking her to Pinellas Animal Hospital for her health, grooming and boarding needs is going to give me complete peace of mind. read more

Dr.Wallen, Kendra and the entire staff at Pinellas Animal Hospital were amazing and so kind to my husband as I when we had to rush our dog in there as his heart was failing. We did not have an appointment but they took our boy back right when we walked in the door and started treating him. They explained all our options and were patient as we made a tough decision. Their compassion during the difficult time was so appreciated. Although we lost our fur baby, they made the decision and process go smoothly. We highly recommend Pinellas Animal Hospital and we will be bringing our other dogs there from now on. read more

Thanks Dr. Elmer, Kelci and Sara from me and Schubert on our recent visit. We can't wait to see you again soon. Everyone at the PAH is so kind, patient and understanding with both animals and their parents!!! Now, if only I could get the Mungo's in the carrier to come to and see you. read more

Find somewhere else. We've been going to this vet for years now, and their care has never improved nor did the prices. My dog has been battling recurring allergies that has never been solved, even after 3 years of going here! They rather give medications and steroid shots instead of finding out the root cause, not including raising the price of the steroid shot from $50 to over $100. Find a different vet who actually treats the allergy instead of treating only the symptoms, because they're money hungry. read more

We hadn't established a vet yet when I had to call for an appointment for one of our dogs. The staff was very friendly on the phone, put me at ease. When we got there, the building was very clean and they had a great dog-walking area outside. Staff was very caring and compassionate toward my old dog and me. I thought we had to euthanize her, but Dr. Elmer gave her a thorough examination and offered an alternate plan. Now, one week later, my dog has her energy back and doesn't look sad anymore! I appreciate businesses that still treat you with respect and you're not just a number. Thank you to Pinellas Animal Hospital, we will be back! read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. This vet is concerned with one thing and that's money. They couldn't care less about the animals or the people that bring them in. Have taken my dog in 3 different times for an allergy and have paid them $1k in total bills for them to guess and never be correct. After frustration, a google search and a $9 shampoo solved the problem. Maybe vet school didn't teach that. Later after needing a form signed by the vet to travel internationally, they wanted to repeat an exam that was performed 24hrs before hand in order to sign the form. The bill was paid on a Friday, found out Monday we needed an additional form, and they wanted to charge another $60 just to sign the form. The lady "greeting" people at the front desk has an intense attitude and will get aggressive with you if you dare to disagree. Stormed out of the last appt, will never return and will do anything in my power to keep anyone else from getting treated the way we did. 0 stars UPDATE!!! Send them a bad review and they will mail you a nasty letter telling you off and defending their position instead of making an attempt to rectify. Thank goodness for other options! read more

I have been bringing my fur babies and feather babies here for about 8years now, and just had 2 there today to see Dr. Wallen for their annuals. I couldn't say enough good things about the care they get here and will be bringing my newest family members there next week. Dr. Wallen is an excellent Vet, Vet Tech Nick was very compassionate with my cats and the receptionists are always friendly and helpful. read more

I am switching Vets, I am not happy with the prices and my visit yesterday for a simple question about my dog's urine turned into a $250.00 visit. I brought the urine sample in without the dog so I could have it tested and then was told I had to bring the dog in....he has been there regularly so I was trying to simplify my time and overall costs. Unfortunately they wouldn't give me any results and it resulted in the $250.00!!! Good news is the dog is fine, but I am no longer going to bring my dog, two cats or any future pets here. The prices are way too high!! read more

I've recently moved from around the area and found these reviews very helpful. PAH were very knowledgeable, courteous with me and even better with my dog. My insecure Chihuahua has always needed a mussel and they were able to inspect and draw blood without it. This was a good sign. They have wellness plans to make your budget easier and also dental services. What could I want more?! read more

Thank you so much for all the attention and care. We really appreciate the updates which eases the heart. The Boys teeth are beautiful , excellent job!! You all do such a amazing and professional job every time we're there. Thank you!! read more

Unfortunately my elderly kitty went to heaven at age of 17. The staff was so nice to send us something special to show they were thinking of her & us. Words cannot express how much that meant to us while we grieved. Adopted a new shelter kitty a little later with all sorts of fun medical things to initially get over (worms, flea bites, allergies and respiratory infection). They took amazing care of her and got her healthy in a short time. At all of her checkups she has been happy to see the vets & get treats even on post-op visit! I love that they gave her an "ID card" access to an online portal to check in on what's due when with great links and newsletters too :) Very nice staff and they have done nothing but impress me and take wonderful care of my fur-babies. read more

They are OK, but bring money. Last time I brought my pets here for annual visits and vaccines the vet looked them over for about 15 minutes, gave them their shots, and that will be $150 please, cash check or charge? Love Dr. Elmer and Dr. Wallen but it can be pricy. Also, if something comes up which is not just run of the mill vaccines, get ready for them to tell you to go to Blue Pearl or some over overpriced specialty clinic because that's out of their scope, so maybe try to pursue a specialist option first if you know that situation applies to you. For regular care though, this is an OK choice. read more

Great service! Felt everyone cared about my cat. If a minor suggestion I only wished the Dr's examination and time spent with me and my cat could've been as extensive and detailed as the time I spent explaining the condition both in the reception and to the vet assistant. I'm guessing this modus operandi is to give the assistants a chance to learn and also to make the Dr's time more efficient. Fortunately it seems that my cat is doing better and hopefully we won't have to be back for this ailment. Thank you! :) read more
